Why can't I find any MST rigs online?

[EZCompany]

Why are most of the MST rigs on A-main and other vendors discontinued or on clearance? Does MST have a new model coming out? MST in financial trouble?

All A-main has is the Toyota FJ and RPP shows nothing under MST catergory.
I was hoping to snag a unimog but they're nowhere to be found. I'm sure I could get one on fleabay but I'd rather stay away from the brand if there's issues with MST.

Any thoughts?

Someone in another thread talked to Amain, and found that certain MST rigs are not being discontinued... just not carried by Amain.

If you want a MST rig, you can always buy from Asiatees or RCMart.

I don't believe Internet hearsay, but I hope this is true.

They are all over EBay, and RCMart has tons of stuff in stock. No issues with MST, just companies here are no longer carrying them. Not too many did in the first place - just Amain and RPP for a bit as far as I know.

Being Korean, MST seems to have lackluster consumer appeal in NA, somewhat like Gmade but to a lesser extent. AMain appears to be one of the few NA retailers willing to stock lesser brand stuff, like Orlandoo. Apparently MST sales didn't make the algorithm cut, relegating us back to eBay or expensive freight and long wait times from across the pond.

I've had a CFX and a CFX-W for a little over a year. Love them both. Ended up buying 2 more CFX's during the clearance sale. One will get the Pro-Line Sumo body. I have no clue what I'm going to do with the other one.

Thanks. I hope you didn't take me saying "I don't believe hearsay" as me not believing you. What I meant was I wouldn't believe it unless I heard it directly from AMain. It's the skeptic in me. You know how information gets skewed when it's passed down the lane.

No, not at all. Was worth posting in this thread so more people are aware. I'd like all these brands like MST, Gmade, and HoBao to get more of a following so that further down the road everyone benefits from options.
